Earlier this month I wrote about my erotic romance Standing Stone being re-published, and at the time, the original publication date was going to be May 1st. My publisher asked if I was good with bumping up the publication to tomorrow—April 15th. What do you think I said? So tomorrow you can purchase Standing Stone! If you would like to read an except, go here!

I love it when my stories are singled out by anthology reviewers. My recent tale, “Before the Autumn Queen,” in Curvy Girls: Erotica for Women, just received a very nice compliment in a review by Steve Isaak, reviewer at Reading and Writing by Pub Light. You can purchase Curvy Girlshere.

In other print news, I am a Mischief author! The newly launched erotica line by the UK arm of Harper-Collins is headed by Adam Nevill, former editor for Black Lace. My short story “Rent” will be in an upcoming erotic paranormal anthology called The Visitor. “Rent” is set during the Great Depression and tells the story of a vampire who operates a rooming house in San Francisco. Mischief has received a lot of attention in the press and I am very excited to be a part of this new venture! I hope it is adapted into an adult movie like 50 shades of grey was one day. I wonder if I’ll get a ton More Bonuses for it as well for it going on websites similar to Tube V.

Also, I am very pleased that two of my stories, “The Boiling Sea” and “Barnacle Bill” will be in Maxim Jakubowski’s Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica 11 to be released in December 2012! Both tales are dark erotica, and I do think they are two of the best stories I’ve written. “The Boiling Sea” follows a Vietnam veteran while he travels through a late 60’s erotic and psychedelic Wonderland adventure. “Barnacle Bill” is a dark Lovecraftian tale of karma and transformation. Reminds me of some of the dark hot content on hdpornt.com. The stories were originally published in Circlet Press’s Like a Vorpal Blade and in my short story collection Darkness and Delight.

Also recently, my dystopian superhero story “Lawman” has been selected to appear in Circlet Press’s print collection Fantastic Erotica: The Best of Circlet Press 2008-2012. “Lawman” is the story of a retired, formerly superhuman veteran of a 70-year war on immorality and what happens when he decides to walk on the wild side. Look for Fantastic Erotica in October 2012.

At the very beginning of this year, my horror novella Springs found a new home at Renaissance eBooks! Now you can also purchase it at Amazon and barnesandnoble.com. Springs is the story of Cherie, a video game music composer and what happens when, under the pressure of a critical deadline, she receives a mysterious music box. You can read an excerpt here.

Finally, I’m closing in on finishing the edit of Woman of His Dream, the horror serial that appears on this blog. As soon as I’m finished, it’s off to the publishers! Look for more on Woman of His Dreams as the year progresses, and if you want to read the serial, you can start with the first episode right here!

“If I had to identify a common element across all these stories, I suppose it would be passion and my belief that the erotic love that grows out of passion is magic — black magic, whitemagic, and sometimes in-between. Passion. Even my big monsters are driven by it.”

That is from the author’s note to my collection of erotic short stories, Darkness and Delight , now available from Renaissance eBooks! I am very proud of this collection and humbled by the kind words of writer, editor and critic M. Christian in his introduction.

From M. Christian: “Angela isn’t just a writer who gets things right, who tells only good stories. Angela is awriter who does every little bit of an almost-impossible job excellently. Take a look at this book, at any little bit of it, and you will see a shining point of brilliance. She tells stories that live and breathe, that do so much more than just talking about sex. She does it all – every little bit of telling a story – wonderfully.”

Darkness and Delight contains 12 stories, 7 which have appeared in other places, and 5 printed here for the first time ever.
